The Samidori cultivar comes from Uji, a historic center of Japanese tea. Its name means “early-summer green,” and it is prized for tencha and premium matcha.

Selected locally for its ability to thrive under prolonged shade, it concentrates amino acids in its leaves, giving the cup remarkable mellowness, silky umami and almost no bitterness.

Its gently vegetal, sweet aroma and deep green color make it a favorite among Uji growers.

Used alone to express the Uji style or blended with other prized cultivars such as Asahi and Okumidori, Samidori shows the region's understated elegance.

Frequently asked questions

How does Sérénité differ from our other ceremonial matchas?

Sérénité is our most refined grand cru ceremonial matcha. It comes from the tenderest, finest leaves of the first harvest, carefully chosen and ground more slowly to preserve their full aroma.
The result is an exceptionally silky texture, remarkable depth of flavor and no bitterness.
Sérénité balances mellowness with intensity, offering the distinctive experience of a grand cru matcha to enjoy on its own.

Is Sérénité organic?

Yes. Sérénité is JAS certified, the Japanese equivalent of an organic certification. It is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers under Japan's organic standards. All our matchas meet the same requirements, which we believe give them exceptional purity and quality.

How can I enjoy Sérénité?

Enjoy Sérénité as koicha (thick and intense), usucha (lighter and airier) or a latte.
Each preparation reveals a different side of it: its mellow flavor and umami come through in usucha, while koicha brings out its depth and velvety texture.
To preserve its delicate aroma, we recommend avoiding sweet drinks or added sweetener, which could mask its subtleties.

Does matcha contain caffeine?

Matcha contains about 30–35 mg of caffeine per gram, or 60–70 mg in a serving of about 1 tsp (2 g). The exact amount in a cup depends on how much matcha you use.

Can I drink matcha every day?

Matcha contains caffeine. The amount per cup depends on the quantity of powder used; this page gives about 60–70 mg for a serving of about 1 tsp (2 g).
